It’s strangely shaming, this seeing balding patches, esp. when sweating… Can’t really figure that out, since I certainly didn’t do anything to bring up shame. Aaaahhhh!!!!

I wear a black sweat band under my black baseball cap which I adjust tightly with the velcro clasp on the back. I pull my long pony tail through the back opening and I look normal and hot to boot!! Make sure you pull the cap all around the band and then fasten it tightly with the velcro underneath the ponytail. I sweat like a pig but nobody notices cz it’s under cover! I’ve got about 20 black and a couple of white sweatbands that I wear with my white sports cap. Works everytime!

I sweat profusely all the time. It’s worse now because of the menopause, but I’ve been sweating like this since I was a little child. Imagine, hot flashes at age 4! LOL It would probably be a great idea for me to go to a gym. At least there I wouldn’t get strange stares from people because of all the sweating. But I know what you mean about making your bald spots stand out even worse with the sweating. I just rub my head with the washcloth I carry in my purse for that exact purpose, and then try to comb my hair as best I can to cover the bald spots and carry on with my day. What else can you do?

At the gym I am cool because I tuck all my hair in a baseball hat. but it on days like this when it is 100 degrees that I just go crazy. The top front is my thinnest and of course that gets sweaty first. If I wear a bandanna then eventually that gets soaked too. My next step is to get a big head scarf that I can wrap multiple times….

Thank goodness for supportive husbands, it’s important to maintain some sort of sense of humor about hair loss. I manage to make a joke here or there about it. I remember seeing a poster on the ceiling of my dentist’s office when I was a kid, it was a Garfield picture with Odie and it said “We Must All Learn To Laugh At Ourselves.” I’ve always remembered that.

The other day I was at the grocery store with my fiance, and I guess I was just having a forgetful day and he was commenting on it to which I said “Ahhhh leave me alone I have A-L-O-P-E-C-I-A” dragging out the last word very slowly. Is reply was “SOOO DOOOO I” Ha! We both started laughing.

Hi Mira – The head scarves is a great idea and I’m going to get myself some because like you mentioned, the gym mirrors are a whole other thing to deal with the scarf sort of takes care of 2 problems. Thanks.

My husband bought it for me. He doesn’t seem to mind my bald head, thank goodness. When I’m feeling devasted, the tee shirt cheers me up a bit.

They soak up the sweat and prevent me from having to see my scalp in the many-mirrors of the gym! You really are so much more than your hair, try to hold on to that thought!
